Interesting since the company that make them do them for hundreds of classics. I've even got a pair on the Capri and have done over 3000 miles on them. Like you say hope it is a one off.

I have had a pair on the Suntor for 6 months and they are showing signs of cracking as well.

To be fair on this subject it is probably worth pointing out , that the car in question that the hose failed on had probably got very hot at times due to a leaking bypass hose on the way to the IOW. I have known genuine hoses fail under those circumstances, so this may well be a one off after all, and to be honest, after 18 months use it is possible for any part to fail, what company these days guarantee their goods beyond a year....not many. Still i`m sure the club will look into it and we will let you know what they say at the manufacturers :wink:

Mine have only done 50 miles although they have been on for 6 months and the car hasn't overheated.
